An aqueous blend of monoethanolamine (MEA) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim]BF4) for CO2 absorption from simulated flue gas was investigated using a double stirred cell at a CO2 partial pressure of 15 kPa. It was found that the values of the enhancement factor (E) and the second-order reaction rate constant (k2,mix) for CO2 absorption into mixed solution were higher than those into a single MEA aqueous solution with the same MEA concentration. k2,mix and k2,聽IL were found to be 3487.6 m3路kmol鈥?路s鈥? and 1936.7 m3路kmol鈥?路s鈥? at 303.15 K, respectively. The Arrhenius equation of CO2 absorption was also estimated. The results proved the assumption that [Bmim]BF4 had an active effect on the CO2 hydration. The diffusion and solubility of the absorbent in the solution were the limiting factors of the reaction.
